How to make Garden People

1. Paint a Fibreboard Figure with a base colour of Vipond Paint. This paint is weatherproof so ideal for outdoor art. Note: it will stain clothing so please wear smocks and wash brushes out immediately after use.
2. Use a permanent marker or pen to write the name of the plant down the back of the figure.
3. Decorate the front of the figure with markers, wire and beads etc. to create unique plant signs.
4. Buy mum a plant for Mother’s Day with your Garden person pushed into the soil to identify the plant’s name.
